Chapter 455: White Bones Become Essence
Yi Chu was fascinated when he heard it, so he said: "Master, I have heard the story of the chicken dog ascending to heaven for a long time, I really don't know who it is, but I also know this story, and I always have a different feeling every time I listen to it, but Master has other stories of cultivating immortals?" ”
Lu Dongbin smiled: "Hehe, what kind of story do you want to hear?" ”
Xuan Chu said with a smile: "I see that these immortals have only succeeded in cultivating after eating the elixir, could it be that everyone has the opportunity to eat the elixir and ascend to immortality?" ”
Lu Dongbin smiled: "That's not necessarily, the one who can eat the elixir is also a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, do you think that ordinary wicked people can also eat this elixir?" ”
Xuan Chu smiled: "Hehe, that's what I thought, I thought that everyone could eat this and become immortals, so wouldn't they all be able to steal and rob it, if that's the case, it will cause a lot of trouble!" ”
Lu Dongbin smiled: "Hahaha, everything has its own providence, there is a true story for the teacher, and I will tell you ......"
Xuan Chu took a moment to say: "Okay master, speak quickly?" ”
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there was a scholar named Zhu Yuanshan in Gaoping County, who was upright, rich in learning, and only eight buckets high, but because of the prevailing style of favoritism and fraud in the imperial examination at that time, he failed to succeed in repeated attempts. ”
But said that this year again off the list, depressed and depressed, so often climb the mountain to look far away, indulge in the landscape, in order to relieve sorrow, this day and climb the nearby Huayin Mountain, just to the top of the mountain, then see the sky is full of dark clouds, thunder roaring, seeing that it is about to rain, Zhu Yuanshan hurriedly went down the mountain, in a hurry, actually took the wrong way, strayed into a dead end.
There is no road ahead, but a steep cliff, when Zhu Yuanshan was secretly scolding himself for being stupid in his heart, he vaguely saw that there seemed to be something on the edge of the cliff in front of him, and when he looked closely, he was suddenly shocked, it was actually a skeleton, I saw it sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, his hands on his knees, vines and moss clinging to his body, his bones were white like snow, shining with luminous light.
Zhu Yuanshan suddenly remembered that his grandfather had mentioned when he was young that there was a white bone on the desperate road of Huayin Mountain. Ran away from the wilderness and almost fell into a cliff.
In this way, it seems that the age of this skeleton should be very old, but I don't know who sat here.
At this time, only a thunderclap was heard, the heavy rain was coming, Zhu Yuanshan came back to his senses, raised his eyes and looked around, looking for a place to shelter from the rain, but deep in the mountains, how could there be a place to shelter from the rain, he was sighing for bad luck today, and suddenly looked up and saw that there was a cave on the mountain wall not far behind the skeleton, and he was immediately overjoyed, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, and hurried to shelter from the rain.
As soon as I came to the cave, the rain poured down, the air flashed and thundered, the thunder roared, the cave buzzed, the rock under the skeleton on the edge of the cliff had been exposed to the wind and sun for many years, and had already cracked a gap, and now it was washed by the rain, and the thunder trembled, and it was already crumbling.
After Zhu Yuanshan saw it, he was stupid in his heart, and he felt pity for the skeleton who didn't know what dynasty it was, and couldn't bear to see it fall to the bottom of the cliff and break his bones, so he took the risk of moving it back to the cave in the rain, and felt that the skeleton was extremely heavy when he moved, not like dry bones.
Zhu Yuanshan placed it on a rock in the cave, bowed and said: "Today, I see the bones of the ancestors standing next to the cliff, afraid of falling to the bottom of the cliff, so move to the cave, if there is an offense, please forgive the sin." He bowed three more times before he got up.
Xuan Chu interjected: "This person is really bold, I didn't expect to have such a kind heart, I'm afraid he is also a blessed person......
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Well, after a while, the heavy rain gradually stopped, and Zhu Yuanshan went down the mountain. Wu Feitu left, for three years, Zhu Yuanshan finally won the big exam, won the post of Yi Ling, and went to other counties to take office, and then when a high-powered traitor was in charge, he only knew how to collect money, go up and down, and the officials under his rule were all greedy, and the people were fishy, Zhu Yuanshan did not go along with it, and wanted to ask for his life for the people, and purge the corrupt officials, but there were many obstacles, the officials were small and powerful, and they were powerless. ”
However, a small edict written by the song, if you want to present it to the Son of Heaven, it is not easy to talk about it, the letter was intercepted by the traitor, and immediately ordered the arrest of Zhu Yuanshan, Zhu Yuanshan was unwilling to be captured, fled to his hometown, officers and soldiers pursued along the way, Zhu Yuanshan fled to the vicinity of Huayin Mountain, and was forced to the mountain.
The officers and soldiers surrounded the mountain to search for people, Zhu Yuanshan fled to the top of the mountain, and suddenly remembered the cave at the cliff of the desperate road, where the location was remote, the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, or he could avoid the search, thinking of this, he walked to the cave.
Xuan Chu interrupted again: "But to the entrance of the cave where the white bones were saved that day? Oh my God, I don't know if it will disturb the white bone ...... of cultivation."
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Came to the cave, everything in the cave is the same, the skeleton is still there, for many years, there is no sign of decay, Zhu Yuanshan hid in the depths of the cave, stayed for two days, saw that no officers and soldiers came, I thought that the danger had passed, the officers and soldiers withdrew, and were about to go down the mountain, when I suddenly heard a noisy sound outside the cave, it was the officers and soldiers who searched here. ”
Zhu Yuanshan hid behind a rock in the cave, heard the footsteps coming, sighed, and said in his heart that this time it must be difficult to escape, and it is not a pity that he died, but he failed to bring down the traitor and save the people of Li from fire and water, which is really a pity.
When he was in despair, he suddenly heard the officers and soldiers in the cave screaming, chaotic, and their voices trembled, and they looked very frightened, as if they had encountered something extremely terrifying.
Xuan Chu said: "Could it be that you are frightened when you see the white bones? If you can do anything to these people, you won't be so afraid, could it be that there is some supernatural situation? ”
Lu Dongbin said with a smile: "Zhu Yuanshan poked his head out and looked, he was stunned, and he was also shocked, only to see that the skeleton on the rock actually stood up, stared at the officers and soldiers with dark eyes, and then shook the dry vines and moss on his body, and walked towards the officers and soldiers step by step. ……”
These officers and soldiers are all greedy minions, and they are the best at oppressing the people on weekdays, which one of them does not bear a few innocent lives, and now they see such a terrible scene, they only think that the unjust soul is begging for their lives, and they are all frightened and frightened. Many officers and soldiers were too frightened, and when they fled, they panicked, and they stumbled and fell into the cliff and died, and in an instant, there was no one in the cave except Zhu Yuanshan.
Although Zhu Yuanshan was frank and upright, he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this strange thing, and when he saw the skeleton looking at him, he was so frightened that he retreated again and again.
Yi Chu was terrified when he heard this, and he couldn't help but lean into Lu Dongbin's arms again, and said, "This white bone has become a essence?" How can you still stand up and be scary, the story of cultivating immortals and attaining the Tao that Master asked you to tell, the terrifying and supernatural chatting you are talking about? It scared the hell out of me......"
